According to Blumhouse's official announcement, the fourth chapter in the horror film franchise will be released on October 20, 2017, and be helmed by The Taking of Deborah Logan director Adam Robitel.

Lin Shaye will reprise his role as the "brilliant parapsychologist Elise Rainier," and series co-creator Leigh Whannell—who penned the first three installments and directed Chapter 3—is writing the script.

Jason Blum (The Purge) as well as Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) and co-creator James Wan (Furious 7, The Conjuring) are all on board to produce, with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Charles Layton serving as executive producers.
